Easter Sunday – He is Risen!

Easter Sunday marks Christ’s victory over death with His glorious Resurrection. By his death on the Cross, we today are freed from sin and its destructive grip on our lives.

I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! (Revelation 1:18)

At St. Michael’s Cathedral Basilica, His Eminence Frank Cardinal Leo presided at the Easter Sunday Mass at noon, with the sacred music of St. Michael’s Choir School punctuating the triumphant atmosphere.

We can now joyfully look ahead to the next 50 days of the Easter Season. This is a time for reflection on and deepening of our awareness of the mysteries prepared for in Lent and celebrated at the Triduum.

We offer our prayers and Easter wishes to the faithful throughout the Archdiocese of Toronto. We also give thanks for the hundreds of clergy, staff and volunteers who worked so diligently over the Lenten season to support our journey of prayer, fasting and almsgiving through to the Easter Triduum and finally, these beautiful and inspiring Easter days. Happy Easter!
